Steel Cut Oats Feed For Young Chicks In Poultry
Steel cut oats are praised as a low cost, high value poultry feed for young chicks. Boiling oats increases palatability as one quart swells to two quarts, and oats beat corn in hot weather for lower heating and fat content. Sprouted oats serve as winter greens for laying hens and oats are also good boiled for relished feed.
Care of Eggs For Quality In Hot Weather
Good care of eggs ensures quality this season. Gather eggs regularly and dispose of male birds after hatching. Exposure to light, especially sunlight, harms eggs. Heat worsens deterioration, and nests exposed to sun on the south side of the fowl house hasten egg spoilage.
Keep Poultry Healthy by Culling Sick Birds
Culling or isolating sick birds is key to healthier flocks says J. H. Claybaugh of the Nebraska College of Agriculture. He notes disease spread can be limited by disinfecting drinking water with chlorinated lime or permanganate of potassium. The lime amount is tablespoons per three gallons water. permanganate turns the water a bright wine color.
